LGA 1851 ATX board for Core Ultra Series 2

This ATX motherboard uses the Intel B860 chipset and an LGA 1851 socket to support Intel Core Ultra Processors (Series 2). It is aimed at builders who want a DIY-friendly platform with integrated Wi-Fi 7 and 2.5 Gb Ethernet for modern gaming or AI workloads.

PCIe 5.0 slot and three M.2 drives with shared

The primary PCIe 5.0 x16 slot connects directly to the CPU for graphics. One M.2 slot runs at PCIe 5.0 x4, while two additional M.2 slots run at PCIe 4.0 x4 from the chipset. The chipset-linked PCIe 4.0 x16 slot shares bandwidth with the PCIe 4.0 x1 slot, so populating the x1 slot reduces the x16 slot to x2 mode.

Q-Release and Q-Latch simplify installation

A pre-mounted I/O shield, PCIe Slot Q-Release, M.2 Q-Latch and Q-Antenna reduce the tools needed during assembly. BIOS FlashBack allows firmware updates without a CPU installed. Builders should verify DDR5 module heights against the large VRM heatsinks and confirm that the 8+8 pin ProCool connectors match their power supply cables.

Questions about this item

Will this motherboard fit in a standard ATX case and what power connectors are required?

The board follows the ATX form factor and needs both an 8-pin and an additional 8-pin ProCool connector for the 12+2+1 80A DrMOS power stages.

Which DDR5 memory kits are supported and how much total capacity can I install?

Four 288-pin slots accept non-ECC unbuffered DDR5 up to 8666 MT/s overclocked, with a maximum of 192 GB in dual-channel mode.

How many M.2 drives can I add and do they all have heatsinks?

Three M.2 slots are provided — one PCIe 5.0 x4 and two PCIe 4.0 x4 — each equipped with a dedicated M.2 heatsink.
